Yay--you got to see Rick again! I always love when you show him in his element. He never disappoints. I just love that guy. He's right--you often do end with a dog--too funny. Time to return already? C'est triste.

Safe travels! You timed this trip very well indeed! No floods or power outages for you! (Maybe you wouldn't have experienced them anyway!) I swear I can read that dog's mind: "WHEN is she coming back? Is she bringing me a treat?"

Is it time to go home already? Seems like you just got there. Fun post. I cant believe that dog just sits there and doesn't go into the store looking for its master. I Need to check out Ricks book. Safe trip home and hope you find home safe and sound.

Such a lovely post Carol. How wonderful to meet with you talented friend again- his drawings are amazing. I love the term Musee Monoprix! I may have to borrow that. Supermarkets are one of the fascinating windows into the alternate life you could lead if you were lucky enough to live in Paris.

I did a post last year for Paris in July about my love affair with Parisian supermarkets, although sadly sans dogs.

As for yoghurt, I'm astonished that they often come in glass or ceramic jars, and I love the different French flavours- chestnut of course, raspberry goat milk yoghurt. I'm a bit of a thrill seeker with the flavours. Our strawberry or peach and mango are nice, but I'm always cheered on by the thrill of the new.
